• Iris recognition technology is a way to identify a person with iris patterns (an iris is the thin
plate-shaped film in front of the eyeball), which differ among each person. The iris pattern of
the left eye differs from that of the right eye.
• Using iris readers, users can carry out recognition without touching any devices.
• In the iris recognition process, the users are recognized with the enrolled iris data.
8
• As a recognition iris reader for iris recognition
Iris data of up to 5 025 users can be distributed from the iris server to iris readers. If the iris data of user has been distrib-
uted to a recognition iris reader, or if a card reader (connected to a recognition iris reader) reads the iris data out of a card,
the iris reader can recognize the user in approx. 0.3 seconds after iris image capturing.*2The user can check the recogni-
tion result with the result indicator (accept/reject) on the front panel of the iris reader.

Features
• Automatic guidance and recognition by voice guidance and distance indicator
When a user is within 50 cm {1.64 ft.} of the front of an iris reader, the voice guidance will start. Moving to the point where
the user can see both eyes in the mirror according to the voice guidance or distance indicator, the user's iris images will
be automatically captured and the user will be recognized from the iris data. The recognition range of the iris reader is
between approx. 30 cm {0.98 ft.} and 40 cm {1.32 ft.}
• One-time capturing of both eyes enables recognition in approx. 0.3 seconds*1
This iris reader captures the iris images of both eyes at the same time, generates iris data from the iris images, and com-
pares the data with that distributed to the recognition iris reader or that read out by the card reader connected to the iris
reader. If the iris data of either eye is corresponding with the iris data that is distributed or that is read out, you will be rec-
ognized as an enrolled user. The recognition time will be approx. 0.3 seconds after iris image capturing.*1
If no corresponding iris data is found in the recognition iris reader, the iris reader will transfer the data to the iris server. The
iris server will compare the transferred iris data with those enrolled in the iris database for certification. (In this document,
the certification by the iris server is called "server certification".) The recognition time will be approx. 5 seconds after iris
image capturing.*2
*1The recognition time may differ depending on capturing conditions.
*2The recognition time may differ depending on the traffic of the network or the total number of the enrolled users.
• Option camera can be installed. (BM-ETC202: Not supplied to the iris reader)
Optional minisize color camera can be installed in the iris reader. You can record the facial image of a user by connecting
this camera and a recorder. Using the recognition result outputs (REJECT) of the iris reader, you can record only users that
have not been recognized.
• Access control system can be composed.
Iris readers and the iris server can compose an access control system in combination with access control panels*3, card
readers*3, and electric locks*3, etc.
*3These devices are independent to BM-ET200.
• Supporting a common access control interface
Recognition result outputs support Wiegand/RS-485*4, which is one of the interfaces commonly used for access control
systems. Any access control panel supporting the Wiegand/RS-485 interface can be directly connected to the iris reader.
The iris reader also has a Wiegand/RS-485 input. Any card reader supporting the Wiegand/RS-485 interface can be direct-
ly connected to the iris reader for composing an access control system.
*4Our exclusive protocol is employed.
• Recognition is available using a card that includes iris data
By using the iris server and a card writer, you can write the iris data of user into a card. When the user passes the card
through the card reader connected to an iris reader, recognition is available.

qDistance indicator
When a user comes within 50 cm {1.64 ft.} of the front of
an iris reader, this indicator will light up for guidance.
Adjust your eye position by following the distance indi-
cator or voice guidance from the speaker. This indicator
consists of five lamps. When a user comes to the posi-
tion that is most suitable for capturing, all the five lamps
light up.
wFront panel
Eye image capturing cameras and a near-infrared light
are located behind this panel. Depending on the user,
the near-infrared light (blinking red light) can be seen.
Notes:
• Avoid covering the front panel with a hand or cloth,
etc. That may cause invalid enrollment/recognition.
• Avoid pinching objects between the front panel and
the main unit. That may cause a malfunction.
eMirror
This mirror is used for eye positioning at the time of iris
data enrollment/recognition. View the mirror from the
front side where you can position both eyes in the mir-
ror.
rEye image capturing cameras
These cameras, which are located behind the mirror,
are used for eye image capturing.
Note: Avoid covering the mirror with a hand or cloth,
etc. Or avoid placing smudges on these cameras. It
may cause invalid enrollment/recognition.
tAudio volume controller
This controller adjusts the audio level of voice guid-
ance. For adjustment, use a Phillips screwdriver that is
3 mm {0.12 in.} in diameter and more than 25 mm
{0.98 in.} long. It is recommended to use a non-conduc-
tive driver.
Note: Avoid adding excessive force to the screwdriver.
That may damage the audio volume controller.
yOption camera (Model No.: BM-ETC202 Not sup-
plied)
This option camera, which is to be located behind the
front cover, is used for facial monitoring. If you connect
this camera to external equipment such as a digital disk
recorder, you can capture user's face and surroundings
to check the capturing condition.
uSpeaker
This speaker outputs voice guidance that guides a
user's position and gives the recognition result. The
voice guidance can be set to any of the following by
